Chapter 45: Defection (2)

Eunuch Yang was indeed shocked.

He saw everything Feng Shaojun did after entering the secret room.

Although the art of disguise is rare, it is not unusual for Eunuch Yang. Eunuch Yang has been secretly recruiting various talents for His Highness King Yan. Yu Erniang, who is good at poisoning, is one of the best.

Yu Erniang was in charge of Hongzhuang Pavilion, responsible for delivering messages, and secretly making poison for assassination.

Ten days ago, Yu Erniang sent him news that there was such a girl Cui.

He was quite surprised.

There are more than thirty secret agents of the King of Yan in the south of the Yangtze River, distributed in various government offices. There has never been any Miss Cui!

But this girl was able to find her way into Hongzhuang Pavilion and was familiar with the code words among spies.

Eunuch Yang became suspicious and wanted to come and see him.

Today, when I met him and saw Feng Shaojun's "face-changing" disguise, I was immediately delighted and developed a love for talent.

"Back to Eunuch Yang," Feng Shaojun smiled and met Eunuch Yang's searching eyes: "Cui is my mother's surname. Actually, my surname is Feng, and my maiden name is Shaojun."

It's indeed a pseudonym.

Eunuch Yang's expression remained unchanged as his gaze passed over Feng Shaojun's face: "There are thirty-six Jiangnan secret agents, and the name Feng Shaojun is not among them."

"What is your identity? Why do you know this set of hand gestures? How did you find Hongzhuang Pavilion?"

Don't look at Eunuch Yang's understatement, if she can't convince Eunuch Yang today, the secret she knows is enough to make Eunuch Yang want to kill him.

Feng Shaojun replied without hesitation: "I lived outside my home for six years and learned the art of disguise from Madam Hu. Madam Hu's brother Hu Tian once served as a secret agent for King Yan. Unfortunately, his identity was exposed and he was silenced."

"Ms. Hu learned the hand gesture code from her brother, learned about Hongzhuang Pavilion and Eunuch Yang, and then told all this to me, my disciple."

What Feng Shaojun said is true.

Madam Hu originally wanted to join King Yan, but after her brother's death, she gave up the idea and joined the Cui family as a nurse.

Working in a nursing home sounds disgraceful, but the Cui family is very generous and gets three hundred taels of silver every month. During the holidays, the monthly salary is doubled. In a year, they can earn four thousand taels.

You can make more money than being a Jinyiwei secret agent. And it is safe and secure, with no risk to your life.

He taught Feng Shaojun the art of disguise and received another ten thousand taels of silver.

Mrs. Hu almost felt guilty for earning this money. Not only did she give him all her money, but she also told Feng Shaojun how to save her life in times of crisis.

Madam Hu probably didn't expect that one day, Feng Shaojun would actually rely on this set of hand gestures to join King Yan's staff and become a secret agent.

As soon as he mentioned Hu Tian, ​​Eunuch Yang's expression softened a lot: "It turns out that you are Madam Hu's disciple."

Hu Tian is not weak in martial arts and can also perform the art of disguise. Madam Hu is even better than her brother.

At that time, Eunuch Yang wanted to recruit both brothers and sisters into the service of King Yan. Unfortunately, Hu Tian's identity was exposed and he died suddenly, and his body was not recovered. Madam Hu was so sad that she flew away.

I never thought that Mrs. Hu would teach such a powerful disciple.

Eunuch Yang looked at Feng Shaojun's appearance and suddenly laughed: "Who are you pretending to be now?"

Feng Shaojun smiled slightly: "Ms. Hu."

The voice actually changed.

Just changing one's face is not considered powerful. A real master can change one's voice and imitate a person's usual expressions and movements.

This is the essence of disguise.

Eunuch Yang's eyes lit up: "Who else can you pretend to be?"

Feng Shaojun raised his eyebrows and his voice suddenly changed: "Who does Eunuch Yang want me to pretend to be?"

It turned into Eunuch Yang’s voice!

so amazing!

In just a short moment, even his voice was imitated perfectly.

Eunuch Yang was so excited that he couldn't help but rub his fingers. This was also Eunuch Yang's habitual gesture when he was happy: "Why did you find Hongzhuang Pavilion and go to all the trouble to see our family?"

Feng Shaojun stopped his smile and resumed his original voice: "Eunuch Yang, I want to join the service of King Yan and serve His Highness."

Eunuch Yang did not agree at all: "In terms of ability, you are good enough. However, the most important thing when working for His Highness, Prince Yan, is loyalty."

"You are a girl, and you have no shortage of gold and silver. Why would you risk your life and death to surrender to His Highness?"

The Cui family must have spent a lot of money to allow Madam Hu to teach her unique skills.

This Miss Feng is naturally not short of money.

A well-dressed secret agent can earn a thousand taels of silver a year. For people in Jianghu who are in urgent need of silver to save lives or lick blood with a knife, this is a huge sum of money. It is enough to make them go through life and death.

What Feng Shaojun wants is obviously not just gold and silver.

"My grandfather is Feng Ping, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites." Feng Shaojun and Eunuch Yang looked at each other and said slowly: "My father is Feng Lun, the salt censor of the Huaihe River."

Feng Lun?

That Feng Yushi who died three years ago when he encountered bandits while being escorted to Beijing?

Eunuch Yang's brows moved, astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Feng Shaojun closely.

"On the Jiangnan Salt Road, some officials colluded with salt merchants to sell illegal salt and make huge profits. The amount exceeds two million taels every year."

"After my father took office, he noticed that there was something wrong with the accounts and kept secretly investigating the matter. As a result, he offended Jiangnan Governor Cao Zhen. Later, he was framed and died innocently under the stigma of corruption."

"My grandfather was afraid of being implicated, and he didn't even dare to seek revenge against the Cao family, so he hastily settled the murder case."

"I, Feng Shaojun, want to avenge this blood for my father!"

"The Cao family is the maternal family of the Empress Dowager and the son of the emperor. It has great power in the court. The palace is supported by Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Cao, as well as His Highness the King of Han."

"I am a weak woman who wants to avenge my father, so I can only surrender to His Highness King Yan and use His Highness's power to avenge me."

"I know that this matter is of great importance, and Eunuch Yang must report it to His Highness. Only with His Highness's approval can I be accepted. Please Eunuch Yang, please express my intention of surrender to His Highness King Yan for me."

"I am willing to fight to the death for His Highness King Yan."

After saying that, Feng Shaojun took out a thick stack of silver notes from the box and stuffed it into Eunuch Yang's hand: "Eunuch Yang must accept this little thought with a smile!"

Eunuch Yang: "..."

As a confidant of King Yan, wherever Eunuch Yang went, there were many people who wanted to please him. He also received many heavy gifts.

However, it is also the first time in my life that I am given a stack of banknotes directly like this.

The banknotes are all in the amount of one thousand taels. There are at least fifty in the pile in my hand.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a large house with four doors.

With so much money, all he had to do was open his mouth to His Highness King Yan.

The chamberlains have no descendants, no children, no daughters, no worries, and most of them are greedy for money.

Eunuch Yang was not exempt from the custom. He held it hard for a moment with his right hand and then said: "It doesn't matter, since you are sincere, our family will tell you a message. Whether it succeeds or not, we dare not say."
